Customer Reviews
Tons of technology, but don't throw away your old clock radio!
Just got this the other day. Here are my thoughts:
* Gadgetry
Okay, this thing has all the technology - It's got bluetooth connectivity, including the ability to play music from another device wireless and answer phone calls (built-in mic). It has an SD card slot, and a USB slot for other devices (haven't tried this out yet). It has an iPod dock. It'll even rip your CDs. I haven't seen anything on the market with this many options.
* Ease of Use (Interface)
This is where things start to go a bit off. It's not the easiest device to use. The display doesn't show the most relevant information. For example, if you're looking at it in bluetooth mode, it just keeps repeating the words "BLUETOOTH" in caps on the screen. But that's redundant because I already know that fact due to the big flashing blue light in the corner. Also, though this thing looks like a clock radio, it doesn't function very well as one (it rarely shows the time throughout the various functions - alarm is hard to set).
* Sound
It's fair - Not a whole lot of bass, mids are a little muddy, highs are very nice. Having said that, I don't have a comparable reference - I'm comparing it to my home stereo system and the bose wave radio.
* Quality / How's it Look
A good looking device - Definitely doesn't look cheap. It's got a big back end on it, but overall isn't too large. Fits on my nightstand just fine. The buttons are a little plasticky.
* In Summary
I'm going to continue using it - if only because there's no stereo out there that has this mix of features. I bought a bluetooth adapter for my ipod touch. It's very cool that I can be sitting anywhere in my bedroom and picking music. And if it runs short on batteries, I can drop it right into the ipod dock. But... I'm going to have to dig my 15-year-old clock radio out of the closet.
Works with iPhone, kinda
I bought this device to work with my new 3G iPhone via bluetooth. If you dock the iPhone in the craddle, it works great(even though it says if doesnt support it). But when I tried to connect it wirelessly thru bluetooth, it did not work. I did some research and realized I needed an A2DP adapter for my iPhone to transmit music wirelessly. So I got one off ebay for $25. But even then I had some trouble. Finally, I realized that I needed to turn the bluetooth OFF in the iPhone settings and let the A2DP transmitter do its thing. Then it worked. I had called Philips for support, but they were clueless and useless
So, now that I've got it working, am happy with it. Although sound quality isnt great when transmitted via bluetooth. Sounds great when connected directly.
Perfect! I found the right dock for my Ipod.
I am very pleased with this purchase.I used it to dock my 160G Ipod Classic.Its not as loud as my hometheater but It does its job filling my bedroom with music.I don't need a hometheater loudness for my bedroom.It's not only an Ipod dock but it has a CD player and an AM/FM tuner.I tried using my USB 8G flashdrive,(I copied all my MP3 collection from my PC to to my flashdrive)and dock it to the usb on this machine and lo It reads all my MP3s and play it,I havent tried the SD/MMC slot yet.So many potentials.You can stream your music from PC via bluetooth.You can also answer cellphone calls on this machine.Cool!.
